Securinine is an alkaloid found in Securinega suffruticosa[1] and Phyllanthus niruri.[2]

Pharmacology[]

Securinine was once in pharmacological use for the treatment of polio and facial nerve palsy,[medical citation needed] but its use has been discontinued because of its adverse effects.[citation needed]

Securinine has pro-convulsant effects[3][4] and it has a strong spastic effect, similar to the actions of strychnine.[5]

Securinine is a GABA-A antagonist.[6][7]
